In Lake Jocassee the Toxaway River is joined by the [Whitewater River](/source/Whitewater_River_(Keowee_River)) to form the [Keowee River](/source/Keowee_River). The confluence is submerged beneath the waters of Lake Jocassee. Via the Keowee and [Seneca](/source/Seneca_River_(South_Carolina)) rivers, the Toxaway River is part of the [Savannah River](/source/Savannah_River) watershed. ==Variant names== According to the [Geographic Names Information System](/source/Geographic_Names_Information_System), it has also been known historically as: *Jocassa River *Jocassee River *Keowee River ==References== {{Reflist}} {{authority control}} Category:Rivers of North Carolina Category:Rivers of South Carolina Category:Rivers of Transylvania County, North Carolina Category:Rivers of Pickens County, South Carolina Category:Tributaries of the Savannah River {{NorthCarolina-river-stub}} {{TransylvaniaCountyNC-geo-stub}} {{SouthCarolina-river-stub}} --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Toxaway River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxaway_River) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxaway_River?action=history)).
